Chapter 4 Theory of Operation on page 10 the measurement process. The input and output connectors of the Bird 7027 Series Power Sensor are Bird Quick-Change type RF connectors, which allow the sensor to be reconfigured with other Bird “QC” connectors. See...
Data Communication Options The Pulse Sensor is available with two data communication options: USB - The USB communication model is designed for use with Bird’s VPM3 software or may also be controlled using Standard Commands for Programmable Instrumentation (SCPI) over USB.
The USB model Pulse Sensors receive power and communicate over the USB port. Monitor/Control Bird’s Virtual Power Meter (VPM3) software may be used to provide control and monitoring of the sensor. A USB cable is used to connect the Power Sensor to a PC running the VPM3 software.
Bird Pulse Power Sensor 7027 Power Requirements The Bird 7027 Series Power Sensor operates on power provided by the USB cable connection, no other power source is required. Software Bird’s VPM3 software is required to operate the Bird 7027 Series Power Sensor.
Note: Refer to the VPM3 operation manual for detailed descriptions of menus and displays. The VPM3 software and manual are available on the Bird Technologies website (http://www.birdrf.com). 6. If an external sync pulse signal will be used, connect the BNC plug on the sync pulse input cable to the BNC connector in the bottom of the sensor.
Bird Pulse Power Sensor 7027 Install optional interlock bracket Note: Connect RF Cables to the input and output connectors of the sensor prior to performing this procedure. 1. Connect the RF source interlock cable to the DB9 connector on the 7027 sensor.
Chapter 3 Ethernet Model Pulse Sensor The Ethernet model Pulse Sensors communicate over Ethernet and receive power from an AC/DC power supply. Monitor/Control The Ethernet sensor is controlled using Standard Commands for Programmable Instrumentation (SCPI) over Ethernet. Refer to the 7027 Pulse Sensor Programming manual for details regarding SCPI commands.
Bird Pulse Power Sensor 7027 Power Requirements The Ethernet model Pulse Power Sensor operates on 5 VDC power input provided by the AC adapter supplied with the sensor. IP Address The Ethernet address for the Pulse Sensor may be set to any address required for the monitoring/controlling system.
Ethernet Model Pulse Sensor Installing the 7027 Ethernet Model Pulse Power Sensor WARNING Never attempt to connect or disconnect RF equipment from the transmission line while RF power is being applied. Leaking RF energy is a potential health hazard. 1. Insert the 7027 Power Sensor into a coaxial transmission line of 50 ohms nominal impedance.
Chapter 4 Theory of Operation Measurement Process The 7027 measures the average power of up to four states within a pulse period, see . Each state is defined with begin and end times. The begin Figure 8 and end times are referenced to the internal reference signal or may be referenced to an external sync pulse.
Chapter 5 Maintenance The 7027 Series Power Sensor is of very rugged construction and requires little care and maintenance. Maintenance of the power sensor is normally limited to cleaning. Protect the RF connectors against the entry of dust and dirt by keeping them covered when the unit is disconnected from the transmission line.
Bird Pulse Power Sensor 7027 Specifications Varies by model, See “Model Identification” on Frequency page Power Range Varies by model, See “Model Identification” on (Continuous Average Power) page Varies by model, the peak power is the upper end of Peak Power the power range.
